Portlets sharing a global variable

[Saathvik Reddy]

Hi,

I want a variable to be accessible to all the portlets. How do i achieve this with out using application scope variables?

Thanks,

All portlets in a war file, or all portlets in the portal?

The PortletContext is global to all portlets packaged in a war, but can't be accessed outside the war.

For truely global variables, you'll need to do your own implementation - maybe something as simple as a common database table all portlets can read from. In the IBM world, we often do this through a PortletService.

I have to access all the portlets in a war file. so i will be using PortletContext. Thanks a lot for your reply.
